I received two games today that I'm probably going to have to drill out the locks. I've never done it. Any suggestions?

IMHO, by far the easiest way to drill a lock is to not drill it. In fact, I've never had to resort to it.
If it's just the coin door, usually you can get to it from the back of the game (if the back door is open). If it's the back door, sometimes you can take the maquee out and reach the lock to take off the screw that holds the cam on. Failing those options, picking the cheap locks that are typically installed in games is usually pretty easy. A few basic lock picks and a tension wrench are pretty cheap, and the skill is more rewarding than wielding a drill.... and there won't be metal chips everywhere when you're done.
Exactly what I was going to say. I've never had to drill a lock. These things are not safes....
it's the locks to the lower change drawer door in a Q*bert and Crystal Castles cabinets, so the change drawer is blocking the locks on the inside. One of the locks is a circle key lock... can those be drilled too?
is there an easy way to get into a ms pacman cab without drilling?
